Divulging in Darkness

Comfort in darkness

Easier for listening

Better for talking

About what is on our minds

So that you don’t have

To see my face

When I tell you my secret

The one I have never told anyone

The one I would never tell anyone

Except for you

If this isn’t trust

I don’t know what is

If I do not tell you

The only one I could tell

I may not be able

To redeem my soul

To liberate myself

From the pain of concealing

Years of overwhelming

Always dwelling

On this secret

Even stronger than the fear

Of telling you

Is the fear

Of what you might think

Of what you might say

And before I tell you

That I don’t want it to end

This way
